Creating alerting and webhooks within different platforms

Alerting is a crucial part of monitoring your cloud-native infrastructure. It enables you to be proactive about addressing issues, ensuring system stability and reliability. In this section, we’ll cover creating alerting rules in Prometheus and configuring webhook notifications for different platforms. We’ll also look at how to automate incident response with custom scripts and tools.

Creating alerting rules in Prometheus

Prometheus is an open source monitoring and alerting toolkit designed specifically for microservices and containers. It collects metrics from configured targets at given intervals, evaluates rule expressions, and displays the results.

Alerting rules in Prometheus are divided into two parts. First, there are rule files, which contain the alerting rules themselves. Second, there is Alertmanager, which handles alerts sent by client applications such as the Prometheus server.
